Many people have been at = loss to
know where the female athletes learn
the art by which they earn q iveli-
hood. A professor has private gym

other acts well known to the frequent

had long talk with this professor on
the subject day or two ago. When
he entered the studio he found the
professor instructing two young wom-
en- in trapeze mannuvres. The
visitor was invited into a prl-
vate room, as it is against the
rules for any one to be present
while pupils are taking lessons. The
rooms were decorated with poto-
graphs OF the shining lights OF the pro-
fession whom the professor has fitted
for the business. After he lesson
was over, the professor took the

An Unsafe Trick.

Some of the small boys down town
have adopted novel but rather dan
gerous trick which they play with
great success upon their older and UNI
suspecting neighbours, and even the
day patrolmen get takenin. The boys
procure piece OF wire twelve to six
teen feet long. They fasten one end o:
it to the electric light wires and the
other end is hitched to some object
that will keep it taut. 1t is generally
placed over the sidewalk in such
manner that the passer-by cannot
but help take hold OF it. The trap il
not put up till the beginning OF dusk,
because it is not effective until the
electric wires are in operation. Then
it is put up and the boys hide near
by and await developments.
Soon an anwary traveller comes
along. and. seeing the wire stretched
across the walk just above his head,
reaches up to pull it down. Nosooner
does his hand touch it than he drops
it with howl OF pain, and he Is greet
ed with roars OF laughter from the
boys, who stand at distance. Our
readers will readily see the cause for
the unfortunate mans pain. The
electricity which passes over the piece
OF wire is what causes him to drop
it so suddenly. OF course it is not so
strong as on the main wires. II IL

instantly killed. As it is, the practice
